Arsenal women's team wins Champions League

On the night of May 24th (Hanoi time), Arsenal WFC defeated Barcelona Femeni 1-0 to win the Women's Champions League.

Arsenal women's team defeated the defending champions to win the Women's Champions League.

At the Jose Alvalade stadium (Portugal), Arsenal defended solidly in the first half. In the 23rd minute, Barcelona's central defender Irene Paredes scored an own goal, but the goal was disallowed for the "Gunners".

In the 70th minute, following an assist from Bethany Mead, Stina Blackstenius finished from close range, scoring the only goal of the match. Ultimately, Arsenal were crowned champions with a narrow victory.

The player who received the most praise in this match was goalkeeper Domselaar of the English team. She made 5 direct saves, including 4 times denying Barca goals in the second half. She was also the highest-rated player in the match by Sofascore with 8 points.

Barcelona and Lyon, Arsenal's defeated opponents in the final and semi-finals respectively, have dominated the Women's Champions League for many years, winning 11 titles in 15 years. Lyon had a streak of 5 consecutive titles, while Barcelona were the champions in the last two editions.

Before the match, not many people believed in Arsenal's chances of winning. In the final, they also had less possession, fewer passes, and fewer shots. However, the difference was on the scoreline.

Many congratulatory messages were sent to the girls of the Borhamwood team. Some even joked, "If these girls played for the men's team, we probably wouldn't be empty-handed this season, would we?"

In contrast to their female counterparts, Arsenal's men's team went through the tournament without a trophy. They were eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals and finished as Premier League runners-up for the third consecutive time.
